With smaller foliage and a more refined look than other distylium on the market, Cinnamon Girl® is an excellent alternative to boxwood and other evergreen plants beleaguered by insects and diseases in the south. Plum-purple new growth turns to blue-green as the leaves mature. This plant really shines in the landscape so put a few in the ground where staff and customers can see it mature. Definitely our most cold hardy distylium to date, it came through the 2015 winter with no burn while other varieties had moderate to severe dieback. (CPBRAF)
